SUMMARY:Math Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:
 Peter Liljedahl, Simon Fraser University, will 
 be speaking.\n
 \n
 The title is "Building Thinking 
 Classrooms."\n
 \n
 Contact Lisa Keller (kellerl@msu.edu) 
 for more information.\n
 \n
 Much of 
 how classrooms look and much of what happens 
 in them today is guided by institutional norms 
 laid down at the inception of an industrial-age 
 model of public education. These norms 
 have enabled a culture of teaching and learning 
 that is often devoid of student thinking. 
 In this session I present some of the results 
 of over 15 years of research into how K-12 and 
 post-secondary teachers can transform their 
 classrooms from a space where students mimic 
 to where students think. The practiced discussed 
 will intertwine with, and make extensive 
 references to, the recently published book, 
 Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics: 
 14 Teaching Practices for Enhancing Learning.
